Abstract

A new nonlinear controller design method called the QLQG/LTR method is proposed. This method is related to the use of statistical linearization, LQG/LTR, and IRIDF methods. It is applied to a position servo with Coulomb friction. The computer simulation results show that the QLQG/LTR control system can adapt automatically to changes in input magnitude.
